Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Expo Go at none against Launch Pilot's 1. Expo Go also leads on chart position (#8 vs unranked). Launch Pilot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
